About the volunteering opportunity
From used clothes and fabrics are sewn in the upcycling project *vergissmeinnicht* new products. From jacket becomes backpack jacket (sewing instructions), from an old shirt a pillowcase or a cooking apron.
With our project we want to counteract the "fast fashion" and the fashion trend for the garbage can something. We create in the project *vergissmeinnicht* new from old. And the whole thing still with social added value: The products are sold in our Berlin project shop caridoo and at markets in Berlin and Potsdam - the proceeds flow into social projects of the Caritasverband für das Erzbistum Berlin e.V. and thus benefit people in need.
We are looking forward to growth and new creative ideas to expand our *vergissmeinnicht* product line.
